RESUMEN

This is the second of a two part review which critically evaluates research published in disparate sources into the psychological treatment of fear of flying. Part I established fear of flying as a complex heterogeneous clinical phenomenon. This paper discusses the way in which evidence from clinical trials translates to best practice in treating fear of flying. Published research on psychological interventions uses terminology which bears a close resemblance to cognitive behavioural therapy. It is, however, questionable whether some treatment approaches reflect the implementation of the cognitive behavioural model as it is described in the wider literature on the treatment of anxiety disorders. This review evaluates a synthesis of published research which considers fear of flying and related anxiety disorders with the aim of deriving best practice. It concludes that the most effective psychological interventions will be those based on an accurate functional assessment of an individual and their social context relevant to fear of flying and not merely a set of standard and invariant protocols. Most published research has been carried out on participants who self refer or volunteer for treatment and it is probable that this is a biased clinical group which may distort reported efficacy and treatment outcomes. It concludes by highlighting directions for future research and the development of psychological treatments for fear of flying.

RESUMEN

Fear of flying, its nature, prevalence, etiology and treatment, has been the subject of a substantial quantity of research over the past 30 years. With the exception of a dated review of treatment methods however, there has been no evaluation of this expanding body of evidence, its contribution to theory and influence on clinical practice. Published research has also generally failed to apply developments in the understanding and treatment of anxiety disorders generally to fear of flying. This review provides a critical evaluation of the existing literature and what it reveals about theory and practice. It does this from the perspective of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The evidence reviewed demonstrates that fear of flying is a heterogeneous phenomenon which is acquired under the influence of complex psychological, social and physiological factors unique to each affected individual. Effective psychological interventions must therefore be founded on a comprehensive functional assessment of each individual, a finding which is considered in detail in the second part of this review.
